This video takes you through the basics of 3 dimensional space, and how to draw it simply and accurately using isometric perspective. Its easy to follow with step by step exercises to make you better at drawing!
This probably the best art tutorial channel. You should be more popular! I been looking around for constructive drawing guide for the past few months and people keep teaching basic linear perspective and go straight for the complete object instead of break thing down to basic construction shape. Everyone so rush to learn how to draw complex human muscle without understanding how to construct one. But each to their own who am I to judge. Thank you a lot for doing this.
Thank you, I’m glad my approach is helpful to you :) these videos are based on how I teach my classes, so I like to make it as easy and accessible to understand in the early stages.
(English is not my first language, so sorry if I didn't write it correctly) Genuinely, thank you very much for the material you have created, for a year or two, it was and has been of great help and guidance to me. It's very easy to understand!! thank you thank you
I hope you keep making videos. As a sculptor, your tutorials have helped me understand shapes. As others have said, you deserve a lot more popularity indeed.
I never commented on any yt vids I watch, but you deserve recognition. Thank you for teaching the basics with clarity. Your vids help a ton for beginners like me who can't go to art school. Gbu bro🙏
Thank you Mehedi, I appreciate it, and that is a great question! I have videos coming up in the future that will address that topic more thoroughly, but the short answer is you would construct the organic object in simpler forms first so you could manage it in isometric perspective. Once you felt the proportion and and structure were correct, you would then put the organic lines on top of the simpler structure.
Absolutely love your content! Its like a crash course. However I watched Linear perspective videos before I found your channel and I'm wondering which situation is good for isometric perspective and which one's appropriate for linear perspective. TIA
Great question! I use isometric perspective when I’m doing a construction drawing of an object or a figure/portrait. It works best on objects that are close to the “viewer” or when we need a shorthand. But anytime I want to draw a scene or anything larger or at distance we need linear perspective. Thanks for supporting the channel!!
This is informative. I have a question about the isometric axes, I have seen some axis say the up/down axis is the Z axis not the Y axis. Which one is the correct axis?
It’s all relative. Like in the video where I talk about how any axis could be associated with any side until you have something to orient you (like a face). Try to avoid thinking of it as an up down axis or vertical or horizontal, and instead ask which is the height or depth. That tells you which would be Y or Z. And this is relative to the object and the viewer. I hope that makes sense :)
I really like your tutorials and find them very useful. I have a quick question - do the angles between x, y, and z need to be approximately 30 degree? Someone told me that, and when I do angles other than 30 percent the shapes are distorted, though it might be because I'm still learning.
That’s a great question. 30 degrees might make the box look the most “correct” but if every angle is always the same the bow will essentially be in the same position. In linear perspective the angles of a box will often be weird because of the position the box is in. I think this is true for isometric perspective as well. The angles can be different than 30 degrees to represent the box turned more or less in space, as long as the line systems are parallel it will be correct.
